Welcome to the Howard Eaton Lighting Ltd (HELL) website.
We are a small, dynamic company run by people with backgrounds in theatre
and industrial lighting, electronics and software, engineering and
manufacturing.

The company designs, produces and supplies innovative
solutions to the "impossible" problems of the entertainment industry
throughout the world. Activity centres around custom projects, from initial
consultancy through design, build and final installation, although we also
have a growing range of products which has evolved from such work.

Diversity is a key element
in the continued success of our operation; from designing and building the
car for the West End Musical “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” to the installation
of lighting for the Imperial War Museum North. Activities have ranged from
the automation of Cannons for Nelson’s Victory experience to sequenced
pyrotechnic “coups de theatre” and animated fibre displays.

We work closely with
Lighting and Scenic designers to produce specialist lighting equipment and
effects for stage and television productions, also with Architects and
Consultants for major new projects and renovations.
